Review on 🔌 EUASOO 11 in 1 USB C Docking Station Triple Display Adapter - 2 HDMI 4K, Gigabit Ethernet, PD 3.0, 4 USB Ports - MacBook/USB C Laptop Compatible - Mirror Mode Supported by Bernard Larjin

I received this USB-C hub last week and got a chance to try it out. If you're (considering) switching from a desktop computer to a new laptop, or swapping out an old laptop, you may need USB-A, Ethernet, HDMI ports, and an SD card slot. This EUASOO 11-in-1 USB-C hub is one of the most versatile USB-C hubs in terms of port count. The manufacturer has different models with more or fewer ports at different prices and if you need a VGA port for example (typical of projectors and older monitors) they have it. This hub is about half the size of a regular iPhone or regular iPhone. Portable external hard drive. It comes securely packaged in a small brown box on a soft cloth carry case and under a layer of foam. The device looks well assembled. No corners and edges. No place. Feels tight and tight. no holes There are no fans. Calm. Four corners and four long edges are rounded. The cable side and the ethernet side have square edges. Nothing spicy. The cable is around 6 inches long, which I personally appreciate since other cables can be around 3 inches, making it a little easier to connect additional items without the connector wiggling in the laptop port much; and with a 6" cable, you can wrap the hub neatly behind the screen of your laptop or Mac mini,...depending on how many fixed HDMI, Ethernet, etc. cables you connect. force meter. When connected to my laptop, an unobtrusive green LED lights up to indicate it's connected. I checked the ports and they all work fine. There was nothing more to do than wait a second or two for the monitor, hard drive or whatever was plugged in to be recognized by my laptop. For network, there is a solid orange LED to show it's connected and a blinking amber LED for activity. . Nothing obtrusive and incredibly bright. Just decent and correct. I turned off Wi-Fi and my system immediately switched to Gigabit Ethernet. I can maximize >100MB/s Gigabit Ethernet over 100/10 wired internet and between computer systems. Feels warm. When used with external monitor, Ethernet and external hard drive; the device warms up after 15 minutes. Not as uncomfortable (100F) but warmer than my arms (93F). Equivalent to 38°C less than the 48°C mentioned in the manual. I assume this can happen with very high resolution monitors, I only have 1 regular HD screen connected via HDMI. It's similar in color to Apple laptops, but slightly bluer and darker. Not a deal breaker, but not an exact match either. Since there are other docks and large drive dongles for different Apple systems, an exact match is rare, so I wasn't expecting that. When I plugged my 2.5" portable SSD into the USB 3 port, my laptop screen and external monitor went blank for a few seconds and then everything came back to life. If it were a regular HDD I would expect power issues, but since it's an SSD I didn't expect that. >> I think it might be a typo in point 4 of the guide that points to higher USB power. when the computer is charging from a power source. Repeat the above with USB-C powered on the hub running through the laptop, no issues with the screen so this may be the preferred setting. Another look at the manual shows in the additional notes, points 7 and 8 higher voltages and currents when using through current. Useful and noted. Also note that the manual recommends using only one external drive at a time. Warms up in standby mode. When my MacBook Air slept for more than an hour, the device stayed warm. So maybe in terms of longevity, when summer comes around that might be something to worry about. The device is completely closed. In a way, it's good that nothing shuts down or shuts down incorrectly, as it can corrupt data on external drives, flash drives, etc. At the same time, why does it heat up on its own with no display activity? stimulate activity? ...Let sit overnight, everything turned off completely and cooled down. The manual mentions interference from Wi-Fi USB 3. Hopefully a longer cable will help minimize this. All in all, a pretty awesome and versatile device that I'm happy to have in my arsenal of peripherals. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who is "downsizing" from a desktop to a new laptop and wants/needs to hook up a few peripherals and needs ethernet. If Ethernet capability or dual displays (Windows) are not required, or you need fewer ports, a more compact version with fewer ports is available at a lower price. At the time of testing, the device cost 75.99 with Prime shipping. Not quite as cheap as a hub, it's portable and compact for field workers setting up an office away from home with a new laptop.
